Ingredients:
- 1 loaf of bread (sourdough or French bread works well)
- 1/2 cup of basil pesto

- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
2. Cut your bread into thick slices, but not all the way through the bottom. Leave about 1/2 inch of bread at the bottom to hold the slices together.

4. Spread the pesto mixture generously between each slice of bread.
5. Wrap the bread in foil and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the bread is heated through and the cheese is melted.
6. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy.
7. Serve warm and enjoy!
